But that is so false . So how do you explain that people in the third world with none of the fancy technology , nice cities that we have are actually happier than a lot of people here . Yeah , it's so true .
And how interesting that people in third world countries that are living on dirt floors and you know , using an outhouse and have no indoor plumbing or showers . They're in many cases happier than people in the first world where we can just hit a button and one day later we can get anything in the world from Amazon . So just it , yeah , it's like , it's consumerism , right ?
I would argue 100% is completely and totally within your hands and your control . And how interesting that people in third world countries that are living on dirt floors and you know , using an outhouse and have no indoor plumbing or showers . They're in many cases happier than people in the first world where we can just hit a button and one day later we can get anything in the world from Amazon .
You should patent that . Um Yeah , I think , you know , a lot of us really do outsource our happiness to the world , to other people , to other things , to other places , events , experiences , and most of us eventually , if you live long enough , you begin to see through the illusion and the promise that the world and other people and other things unintentionally , um unwittingly make right to make this promise that they can make you happy . But if you live long enough , you see through that and you realize that the world can do nothing but break that promise over and over again .
And then the 10% is conditions and circumstances . And so even when your life is perfect , if you can imagine having unlimited money , money , the perfect relationships , perfect health , all of that together only accounts for about 10% of your happiness . So if you had the perfect life , you still are 90% of away from having perfect happiness , right ?
